Every day I hear another story telling me Putin is practically on his death bed. I’ve been seeing these stories for a couple of years now, even before Russia invaded Ukraine, but he continues to linger to be a menace to the world.

Every day I hear another story telling me how Russia has almost no troops remaining and those they do have are un-trained and unwilling to fight.

Every day I hear that Russia is using out-dated and faulty equipment that fails to combat the powerful military equipment being provided by the U.S. and other western countries. Even that equipment is being destroyed according to daily reports.

Ukraine should have won this war by now based upon the support from the west and all the metrics listed above.

This war has been going over a year and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon and the main theme from Zelinsky is send more U.S. tax-dollars.

Why hasn’t Putin been taken out? How much longer is this going to go on? I hear stories of Russian generals and Putin advisors no longer supporting Putin and this war, but no one seems to be making any effort to stop him.

I suspect it is because the left WANTS the war to continue. It gives them a boogie-man on which to blame all our woes, while at the same time providing support to the military-machine in which so many politicians are greatly invested. It also allows for the money-laundering and kick-backs of U.S. tax dollars to the politicians and their war-supporting buddies. I suspect several “somebodies” are getting their 10%.

As much as I want this to be true, it is a bit detailed for personal medical information for any world leader.

By the same token

We hear every day that Russia is going to “take the gloves off”, going to mount a huge counteroffensive to wipe out the Ukrainians who are on their last legs. Posted by people here, usually echoing the pro-russian agression crowd of moonoveralabama,ritter,Mcgregor, among others.

It kind of goes both ways.

Don’t forget the “reports” of Russia using old tanks from WWII.

Your premise is flawed. You have assumed that the left has some control over the war and Ukraine.

Ukraine is soverign and not subject to American political whims

Thanks for the first common sense reply.

These Putin stories are a little like “The Little Boy That Cried Wolf”. The day Putin actually does croak no one will believe it except those drinking the propaganda koolaid.

I suspect sooner or later we will be hearing the Russians are dragging cannons out of museums from the Napolean wars to fight the victorious Ukes.

Both sides want the war to continue. No one involved in this is “the right side”.

Seeing the disgusting corporations are already negotiating contracts with Zalensky to “rebuild” Ukraine the worse it gets the better it is. Think of all that rental income for Blackrock REITs and all that new “Green” grid rebuilding. So what if a few hundred thousand Ukrainians and Russians die. There’s money to be made and The Big Guy always gets his cut.

If he is on his last.....whatever, how about dropping one on the next Davos meeting. Talk about a great reset!! He’d go down in history as the second Samson.
